This is a discussion on most youve made/lost in one day? within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; 48 dollars up.... only play sit n goes usually, so ya.
about 156 down one time lol

Most I've made in a single day would be my $800 I took from a $1/$2 NL cash game in just over two hours (I was newly 17 at the time)

Most I've ever lost in a single day was $10.

I've only done one real cash game, and that was mentioned above. I probably played like a donk compared to them, but I had great cards and some huge pots that night, never dropped under my $100 buy in, and I doubled up in one hand after about 20 minutes.

The only reason I've never lost more than ten is simply because I put myself on a $10 a week limit (because I've not actually built a bankroll yet) to keep myself in check, and 99% of the time I play it's $5 home games with a few buddies.

I`m very careful with BR management, Estelle. I feel it is a key element in success at poker. I am sure that there are many players out there who are more talented than me at the table, but who have been less successful overall because they don`t get the wider picture.

Without meaning to diss anyone, you can see it in this thread. Strong players who have taken big hits on days when the cards were against them.

i thought the vast majority of poker players lose - this forum must be full of all the small minority of winners ;-)

Long term i suppose the average poker player loses, but almost all players are going to have won more than they have lost in a day, it's just that the wins are less common than the losses.

My biggest day win (came in 1 event) was $2,100, my biggest loss IRO $200 (i'd never lose more than $500 or so because i'll never keep my poker bankroll above that level).

We have been through this before in past posts. Most of the players on this site will play to a high standard - in my case u don`t post nearly 700 times without picking something up

Mine, online only

$4,200 - Ladbrokes ($25 buyin I think, first place)

Loss - $200, ring game - I never let myself lose more. This is something I have learnt via this site. (I don`t play ring games now either!!!)

One of the famous poker players, Harrington I think, said, words to the effect of "If you start the day with $200 and you lose $100, don`t try to win it back and get even. At that stage you are even!!!"

In a round about way, I think he is saying "the best case scenario is you get your money back. But because you put yourself under pressure you are more than likely gonna lose the remaining $100. So if u quit now you are even (If that make sense???)
